way to re-establish it when necessarily interfered with. I infer 
front all this that our interests are not exclusively our own ; that 
good will come out of such a plan as I have proposed ; owners 
and shippers of live stock will be benefited, our own knowledge 
extended, and the Review will become more and more interesting 
and valuable. It is to be hoped that those who have the good of 
the profession and the success of The Americn Veterinary 
Review at heart, will contribute to its columns, and make it what 
in fact it should be—a journal of veterinary medicine, in one and 
all its relations. Yours, <fcc.,

Freak of Nature. —A man in Worcester County, Md., has 
a ewe that a few weeks ago gave birth to a white lamb. They 
were both doing very well, when about two weeks afterward the 
same ewe gave birth to a large black lamb. 
Export of Live Stock.— The export of live animals in 1870 
was but $1,045,039, while in 1880 the total was $15,882,120, an 
increase of 1500 per cent, in ten years. 
Glanders in Ohio. —Many horses in Belmont County, Ohio, 
have been attacked by a disease resembling glanders, and which 
is said to be incurable and contagious. 
Sheep in Great Britain.— The number of sheep in Great 
Britain for 1880 shows quite a falling off, as compared with the 
last few years—1876, 32,262,579 ; 1877, 32,220,067; 1878, 32,- 
571,018 ; 1879, 32,237,958 ; 1880, 30,239,620. 
Sheep in Texas. —According to the best information there 
are about 4,600,000 sheep in Texas. This will probably be in¬ 
creased twenty per cent, during the coming lambing season, 
bringing the number up to 5,000,000. Valuing them at $2.50 
each, would make the total valuation of sheep in Texas $12,250,- 
000 .
